free up money for our rookies we Draft. Was hoping for one more signing in Jason Peters to man RT for a couple years
but I guess I have been spoiled by this great Free Agency we have just seen. Our Defense is going to be tough to run
on and that puts Offenses in 2nd and 3rd and longs resulting in better chances for INTS and Sacks.

One thing I cannot stand is getting ran on and our guys missing tackles.

I can handle getting beat in the pass a bit, but with Reader here he will free up our other pass rushers to hit and sack
QB's and he is a good pass rusher himself if they want to try and block him one on one. Getting Bell, Waynes, Alexander
in the Secondary is huge. We are physical all the way from the front to the back end. Bynes is a smart vet and will help
Pratt and our soon to be young Linebackers out big time, he is always in the right place and is a good tackler.

Very exciting times. Completely frees up the Draft, lets get an Offense built around the QB who just had the best season
ever eh?

Yeah baby.  :hail:

I'm with you.  It's almost as if the Bengals read my post on how I would create a good defense.  My philosophy is to be strong up the middle, and force the action to the edges.  They have went and did just that.  Got one of the best NTs in the league, picked up an instinctive run stopper at LB, picked up the biggest badass that they could find at Safety to pair with Bates coverage skills.  Added a pair of aggressive, ball hawking, sure tackling CBs.  Now, our existing pass rushers should thrive!

I'm now in a position where I really have no clue which direction the Bengals will go with pick #33.  By all estimates, they can literally now go any direction they see fit, without having to pick "BPA that fits need", just go get the best guy that will improve the team.
